Spanish: Estar Contra La Pared

Type: Expression

Meaning: with one’s back against the wall

Esta frase sin duda se refiere al hecho de estar fusilado. “Estar contra la pared” indica que una person se encuentra con las opciones limitadas, si no agotadas. (This expression undoubtedly refers to the act of being executed by firing squad. “To be up against the wall” indicates that a person’s options are limited, if not exhausted.)
